So many great tips in this video! Our favorite textured cardstock for cutting is American Crafts Precision Cardstock!
That's one of my favorites too!
Another excellent educational video! Thank you so much for help.

You are so welcome! Hope they help you!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you -- your tips definitely assisted! Especially educating me on selecting Cardstock for Intricate Cuts -- what a difference! I'm using 80 # Parklane Solid Core and changed from 80 lb Cardstock to Cardstock for Intricate Cuts AND.....no more tearing! Thank you!
Yay!!! I'm thrilled to hear it helped! :)
Thank you very much for all of the tips!! Very helpful!! A few months ago I had the tearing problem and cleaned my blade, clean my mat and changed the material type. Then I changed the pressure in the materials setting. I still had the same problem so I bought a new blade. Works great except it’s cutting through into the mat!🤦♀️ is there a way to go back to factory settings?
Mats do get cut. If it's cutting the mat too much use less pressure in the drop down she shows after selecting your material.
I love your tutorials, so simple and helpful to follow. I need advice for the best setting for cutting double sided pearlised card with intricate cuts, making wedding invitations. Can I use a deep point blade so save the number of cuts?
Hi Elaine! I wouldn't use a deep point blade. Stick with the fine-point blade and use the Cardstock for Intricate cuts setting. :)
Any tutorials for Android tablets or phones! Hardly anyone out here,that I can find does this. But I did learn from you today,thank you so much!
Yes, I have a Cricut Confidence eBook that will help! Here is the link to find more information! abbikirstencollections.lpages.co/cricut-confidence-ebook/
@@abbikirstencollections thank you,hoping I can do svg on my Samsung tablet!
Ahh-Maz-inG!!! 👏
Thank you! 😄 I'm thrilled you found it helpful!
This is very timely. I have this problem on the project I'm working on now and it's driving me nuts! I'm going to try your suggestions when I wrangle the beast (Cricut machine) tomorrow. Thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you all the tips. I would like to know what glue did you use for sticking the papers together.
Thank you again
I use Bearly Art glue for most of my projects. :)
I have a question about the Recollections brand foil card stock paper. I had trouble cutting this card stock paper on my Cricut Maker because I couldn’t find any “foil card stock” when I went to “browse materials” so I chose holographic card stock and it didn’t cut through. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Should I have typed in “paper” to get more choices.? Thank you for the great video. It was very helpful.
Did you try typing in just foil? I have also heard that the material lists vary between the maker and maker 3 as in some are just not there. So you may want to try creating your own setting just for foil cardstock if it isn't in your list. I know there are some videos here with Abbi that explain how to set that up. Also I saw a tip today that says if you put the foil cardstock face down and mirror your design you will get a cleaner cut. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to do that in the near future.
You can also try not removing the mat and push go again. This way it will cut a second time in the same place. Just make sure you do not remove the mat as it will not cut again exactly the same if you do.
I have noticed different svg designs on Etsy etc. that say "laser cut svg" can you still cut those on the Cricut with the proper settings? Thanks
Laser cut, I believe, is for laser cutting machines. Cricut is not a laser cutting machine.
12x12 card stock shop in the US, wish we had one here
Yes, I love their paper selection!
Yes, I love their paper selection!
Can you put a link for the 3d rainbow you made and use on here please, I love it.
Sure, you can find it here! www.abbikirstencollections.com/rainbow-mandala-craft/
@Abbi Kirsten Gillespie thanks i found it on your channel and have made it now but my goodness i really really struggled with the blue layer, the front piece of the blue layer, i wasted so much cardstock, tried every setting possible, finally had to use a really thick cardstock, set to heavy on the material settings with less pressure which did the job about 80% i still had tearing but had to a patch up job with the good pieces i managed to do.
What do you when it's cutting thought the mat I'm using a lightweight card stock
You may want to double-check your pressure on your material setting :)
I just can't do it, I have tried all the settings you've told me. I have 65 lb cardstock from Michaels, tried all the settings and it's still ripping. i don't want to give up, but don't know what else to do. :0(
Hmm, your blade is new and in good condition? Sticky mat? Brayer tool? And what does your file look like?
Will a 100lb glitter scrapbook card stock by crafters square work
It depends on the projects and the settings you are using but yes it is possible to cut glitter cardstock. Its one of my favorites to use :)
Thank you! I just got a cricut and can’t cut anything. Nothing is cutting all the way through. I’ve played with pressure and it doesn’t work. Cardstock cut 2x still wasn’t cut through all the way!
Glad I could help!
What about plain card stock printer paper. I am thinking about using it for earring cards. Where I can print my logo on the inkjet then cut it out on the machine. I do noot know anything about Cricut machines.thanks
I have a free workshop that will help you learn how to use your Cricut here :) www.abbikirstencollections.com/cec-registration-page/
thanks@@abbikirstencollections
When I use my scrapbook paper, everytime I take the paper off it'll bring it all up or it will spiral up. Advice?
To prevent curling, I find it helpful to flip my mat over and while gently pressing down on the paper pull the mat away from the cardstock instead of trying to pull the paper off the mat.
What's your favorite brand of smooth plain colored paper for intricate paper cuts
I love using the paper from 12x12 Cardstock Shop :)
Am I the only one that has trouble cutting black paper? No matter what brand, weight or setting I choose, it never to seems to cut completely through.
I did but I change the settings manually and put it down in pressure but 2x
i wonder how much you have done for the environment with this video by saving on wasted material 😅❤
🤣 It can be so frustrating! I hope it helps lots of crafters!
I don’t believe you mentioned to not use white core?
You are an angel, i have a cricut machine and guess what? I don’t know how to use it 🫣🫣🫣thank God I found you 🙏
Aww, you are so welcome!
